feeling and drink caused fierce and
bloody riot in the town of Hazleton
Sunday evening. John Cannon, of
GAINESVILLE, entered the place in the
evening, and, half drunk, made his
way to the italian quarters and caused
a disturbance. The Italians bounced
upon him and beat and stabbed him
almost to death. The Irish and Ger
mans then collected and attacked the
Italians. The latter were the more
sober and active and after ten min
utes' fight in which blood flowed like
water from wounds caused by knives,
stilletos, raZors, clubs, ETC., the COM
bined races retreated to the music of
the cheers of the sons of Italy. An
hour later the Irish and Germans re-
turned greatly reinforced and the Ital-
ians fed.

EAST LIVERPOOL, o., Sept. 9.-The
most unique form of boycott has de-
veloped itself. Several men from
Wellsville, Ohio, stepped into the es-
tablishment of one of the leading tail
ors in this city and ordered suits of
clothes. In leaving, one of the num-
Der said. "YOu will receive several
more orders, for we will not patroniZe
WelIsviIle merchants" Upon being
further questioned the man said: 1--WE

Disastrous Forest Fire.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Sept. "a disas-
trous forest fire is raging near Meadow
Lawn, about fifteen miles from this
city, and many acres of fine timber has
been destroyed The fire originated on
the farm of Minehert Hassell. The
barn caught fire from some unknown
cause and communicated to the dry
grass in the parched meadow. The
woods were soon ignited and brisk
breeze famed and spread the flames.
The farmers are obliged to stand idly
by and see their possessions swept from
them on account of the scarcity of
water, there being hardly enough
water for stock in this place. In
many instances farmers saved their
property from destruction by setting
their stubble lands ON fire ahead of the
main fire. which would thus greatly
die out when it reached their places for
want of fuel. The fire extends for
a distance of about three miles square
and is easily communicated from one
strip of woods to another. Much val
liable property has already been con-
sumed, but it is thought the progress
of the fire has been checked and that
it will soon exhaust itself.

western ana Eastern shippers.

PITTsBURa, Pa, Sept. 6.-The inter-
state commerce commission has finally
decided upon the date to consider the
protest of the western wholesale ship
pers against the Reconsideration of
freight rates in the interest of the east
ern shippers. A letter was received to-
day by the Pittsburg wholesale grocers'
association from the freight bureau of
Minneapolis, Minnesota. The bureau
is an association of wholesale dealers
similar to that of the grocers' associa-
ton in this city. They have followed
the example of Pittsburg, Cincinnati,
st. Louis and other large western cities
in protesting against what they claim
as an attempt to SECURE discrimination
in favor of eastern shippers. The let
ter stated that the interstate commits
sion had sent them notice that a meet
ing of the commission would be held in
st. Paul on September 13. The meet
ing is for the purpose of hearing
the western side of all western whole
sale shippers, who are among the larger
list of professors, and are asked to send
representatives to appear before the
commission and present their argu-
ments to show why the railroads should
not be granted the privilege of ship
ping a small quantity of merchandise
at the same rate as car load. From
present indications the members of the
commission will have no occasion to
complain about a difficulty in obtain
ing evidence. Representative from all
of the western shippers are expected to
be present, to lay before the commits
sion arguments which they claim are
based on such a solid foundation as to
be almost Self-eVident.

Defending McGlyn.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The Brooklyn
Standard Union this evening published
a long statement by one whose name is
not given, but who is vouched for as
being in position to know whereof he
speaks. 1t processes to show that DR..
McGlynn was condemned and dis
missed from the priesthood without
hearing. The essential features of the
story are in effect as follows: DIR.
Burtsell, acting in the capacity of
counsel for DIR. McGlynn, prepared an
elaborate defense of his client, and felt
the utmost confidence in his acquittal.
Cardinal Gibbons was in Rome, and
as he had taken strong grounds in favor
of the Knights of Labor, on whose be-
half DR.. McGlynn had suffered admo-
milton for Archbishop COrrigan and
Cardinal Simeoni, it was thought that
he was a good person to present Nc
Glynn's defense to the propaganda.
Accordingly it was forwarded to him
for that purpose, but the narrator goes
on to say that Cardinal Gibbons and
Bishop Keane were very much inter
ested in carrying through the project
of the Catholic university, and that the
Cardinal was not willing to help.

In RrIer and to the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and WON
derful things in existence. 1t is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspep-
tics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderful work in reforming this
sad business and making the Ameri-
can people so healthy that they can
enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remember:-No happiness without
health, But Green's August Flower
brings health and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for a
bottle. Seventy-five cents.

ing rejected, by closing deal with the
town of Ulysses, where he made his
headquarters. 1t is also alleged that

dents for Ulysses as the county seat,
their names being fictitious; that he eX-
cluded and would not. permit a large
number OF qualified persons to vote for
the rural town of Cincinnati, and that
the number of persons thus prevented
from voting was sufficient to affect the
result.
1t is also charged that large num-
Der of persons who voted for Cincinnati
and jackson completely changed their
woes to Ulysses; that the people of
Ulysses entered into an unlawful COM
bination with the electors of Zionville
for their votes, and that Jackson
helped carry out the corrupt contract;
that he continued drunk and unfit to
transact business and indecently ex-
posed his person and was an object of
aversion and disgust in many other
